Jesse Hogan's Return

Featured Replies

All he needs is a couple of good touches early and you know he's in for a good day. Massive confidence player but gees he's a gun! Goal kicking was on point today too. 

Really helps when we lower our eyes as well when we deliver the footy. Kudos for ANB for being a deadly kick inside 50!

 

There were some who last week wanted to start him back at Casey . Even some who thought Weideman should play this week while Hogan played at Casey.

Great idea guys!

Wasnt really surprised by his bag today. (was very happy for him though.)

He flies under the radar. Last year we saw what he could do and expected a breakout year this one. But health and other issues saw him sidelined. The media have forgotten what a true  star he is.

Don't think there was one person in the ground that didn't want it for him today. Well done Jesse!

Article on Jesse's return today. I especially liked this bit, regarding the club's attitude towards everything he's gone through this year.

"Hogan said he would have found it difficult to pull through if not for the support of the Melbourne Football Club and his teammates.

"The club was extremely caring and were very cautious to what I needed – whether I needed space or whether I needed to be around the boys. They couldn't have done any better, in my opinion.""

As much as I hate to say it, Jess needs to take a break away from the game until next season. We all love the boy, but clearly wasn't ready for a return.

Interesting......  :roos::laugh:

Good to know, what any workplace should do...

Tell him you want him back as soon as possible because he's a very important part of the team.  Tell him he'll be straight back in and the harder he works the quicker it will be.  Give him a reason to be enthusiastic about his recovery.  Make him feel wanted, not a failed product for 2017.

Don't put him out to pasture and take away his motivation.  Tell him he can be part of something really special and finish the year on a high and achieve with the team.

Give the kid something, don't take it away.

 

This was a great post.

"That's why I will delay announcing my decision to join Freo until after the season. I want to show them that I am very caring too."

Yep, i'll admit i was a little bit in the doubt camp, and i will publicly apologize here and now for that. I guess i put it down to being stupidly impatient and a little bit ignorant. All forgotten now and by jingos he looked a very warmly loved member of a good team no matter what happens this week.

That was his best ever game.

It would have been seven goals if not for the one he gifted Brownlow at the start of the game.

I see what you did there.

Anyone else notice he had his good shoulder strapped, just like Lin Jong did in the VFL Grand Final last year?  Dunno if any of the Lions fell for it, though...

In the article he also says:  "When I did it (broke the collarbone) I thought it was like a 12-week injury and I was pretty flat," Hogan said. I saw the surgeon the next day and he basically said, 'You'll be running in four days, playing in two weeks', which kind of surprised me...He (Oppy) happened to be a Dees supporter as well, so he was pretty keen to get me back out there."

'Oppy' deserves a medal for giving Jesse the motivation to work hard and get back, which he did in very fine fashion.

 

Two milestones for Jesse yesterday:  Played his 50th game and kicked his 100th goal. :)

In every way a great day for him.

He has had his right shoulder strapped in every game since he made his comeback vs Carlton.

Pic from the North game when he did the collarbone on the left side.

Barrie.  Just as well that Collingwood supporters, players  and staff are illiterate - they still won't know by next weekend !

Indeed!  If I remember correctly, think it was Dunny who was one of the stooges targeting Lin Jong's good shoulder due to that being the one with the strapping in last year's VFL Grand Final.  I'm confident he won't have learned!  LOL

 

Some Demon supporters have doubted this kids talent. LOL.

Must be on drugs.

I never questioned his talent but I questioned his style of play many times.

As someone else mentioned, he attacked the ball and didn't just stand and wrestle like he has been for over a year now.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
